    I wanna know the answer to that question as well, @vaquero357 – I'm about to place an order for a pair myself! Which boot you get?

      @vaquero357:

      …my custom Wesco boots have been being built for the last two weeks according to my account. Anyone know how long it takes to build a custom Wesco boot from first stitch to completion?

      ...I didn't pop for the expedited build ( they received my order March 4 ) so its been a wait.

      ...guess I'll find out soon enough, just curious. 🙂

      I put in an order for another pair back in March and just got an email saying they won't be done until late September or early October. Apparently they have more orders than ever before and they're just extremely backed up due to the massive amount of sales. All of my other pairs have taken between 3-6 months to show up at my house from the time I put in an order.

        Lead times from Wesco vary depending on how much they have going on. I’ve been quoted between 12-16weeks before.

            The question was not how long from placing order, it was how long to build…

            But again, this will vary with how busy they are....

              …@Giles that is correct sir!

              ...@Henry_david Black 11" Harness Boots, Brass Rings and Boss Toe...knife pocket also. 😎

              ...@Palmer just checked my account again and it still states 'your boots are being built now'! 😉

                As to the question of how long a pair takes to actually build, I know a pair of cowboy boots can be made by hand in about a week. I'd expect boots with more automation would probably be a day or two shorter in total hours for construction.

                That said, @Chris at Wesco is going to be the man with the definitive answer.

                  Will the 23oz "Ultra Heavy Selvedge Serge" fabric ever see the light of day again?

                      Okay, well I'll just be sure to make these two pairs last as long as possible!

                        Can’t seem to figure out why I’m not getting notification of new posts in threads I’ve previously posted in? Any help would be appreciated.

                          Check your settings. There’s an option to cross off for that which may have been unchecked by accident.

                            I am having the exact same problem. I haven't gotten a forum email in a month. Something is definitely broken.

                            Edit: I have a tendency to exaggerate… The last one was June 28th. But they come in sporadic and not instantaneously like before.

                              I changed 2 things,that I couldn’t,previously,seem to find. Let’s see if this helps.  Just saw that Alex had tagged me in a post this morning,but I didn’t get any notification. Strange.

                                @Jett129 we looked into this last night, it should now be working. Do let us know if you're experiencing otherwise

                                @Filthy you weren't wrong! Should be all sorted now.

                                The devil is in the detail..

                                      Howdy folks,

                                      Anyone have experience garment dying a white IH t shirt? I have some black liquid Rit dye and would like to use it on one of my white shirts…thoughts?

                                        Rit dye would be good if you want a charcoal grey vintage black color… You have to use a ton of salt and boil the fuck out of it to get any decent results...

                                        Procion MX dye will get you an actual back color. But you must use 1 lb of sodium carbonate to 4oz of dye to about 3 gallons of water to achieve the best results and you should use either Dawn or Synthrapol to prewash first...

                                        *Their 250 jet black has been discontinued. So maybe raven black would work too? @Oaktavia (you are a Baltimore Ravens after all).

                                          Filthy speaks the truth. Procion dyes are far better than Rit or anything else I've seen. I used to sell art supplies and I've seen the best dye jobs using Procion. Bold and colorfast.
